I didn't actually notice that the particular film had not been reviewed.

I tend to browse the Guardian and many other sites daily and there's been nothing pushed to the front on the festival in general. There's a been a few reviews of films screen there but not much else. I kind of forgot the festival was coming to a close and awards were due.

"...it is utterly, passionately cinematic. With the new restoration doing full justice to its silvery black-and-white images, it emerges as a full-on thermonuclear blast of intellectual, comic and sensory pleasure."

“An early contender for release of the year... a delight, pure and simple. It is a glorious find and a film that rewards the viewer with its wit, its whimsy, and its romantic commitment to the medium.... My 20th Century is a film you must see, perhaps on multiple occasions."

"As beautiful a film as you're likely to see on home video... a remarkable piece of work, filled with gentle touches of magic realism and a lush visual approach that would give Hollywood's European groundbreakers like Josef von Sternberg a run for their money.

My 20th Century looks terrific on Blu-ray from Second Run... with incredibly rich black levels that allow the inventive compositions to really pop off the screen; there are at least a few dozen shots in this film that will make you gasp."

"Go with the flow and just enjoy how quirky and downright beautiful this movie is to watch, you’ll almost certainly be delighted by it... Second Run’s blu-ray presentation is wonderful (this is My 20th Century’s world premiere release on blu-ray) and includes a fascinating new interview with the director. Absolutely superb."

"It looks lovely in high-definition... the entire film has a very solid and pleasing organic appearance.

There is an almost euphoric sense of freedom in this film that can be somewhat intimidating at first, but its playfulness and appreciation of beauty and elegance are impossible to resist. I loved it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

I received this on blu-ray and watched it last week. I found it to be an incredibly dense film, and consequently, I'm positive that I missed most of what it was trying to convey. The included essay is scholarly and proved to be a tremendous benefit in proposing theories and ideas that I may not have considered on my own. The major theme of the film is obvious -- modernization and its results in the 20th century -- but, the way the ideas are conveyed will require multiple viewings to appreciate.

I don't want to give the false impression that the film is bogged down with making some statement. It remains quite whimsical throughout, and the lead actress is a joy to watch in her various roles.

As for the technical presentation, I watched this projected onto a roughly 100" screen and noted nothing distracting about the quality of the video. It seemed very film like to me. The audio was perfectly clear. I haven't had a chance to watch the included video supplement, so I can't comment on that.

In sum, I am very pleased that Second Run released this film since I otherwise wouldn't have known it existed. It's worth adding to your shelves because it will require more than one viewing to truly appreciate, which is not a chore considering how much fun the film is.

Very imaginative and charming film. My only criticism of the release is that I wish the interview with Enyedi had been transcribed, condensed, and printed in the booklet. Out of 28 minutes, there is probably a good 7-8 minutes worth of interesting information among the vocalized pauses, breaks, repetitions, and clips from the film.

"Well, here’s a treat from Second Run... It would be hard for anything to outdo the luminosity of the film’s cinematography, which wows you over and over on Second Run’s excellent disc...
Films are called unique all the time, but My 20th Century earns the descriptor."
